Yes, it's the horses' birthday on Sunday, but you get the present ... a few days early.

This weekend's Winning Post is our famous calendar edition. Inside is our top-quality 28-page wall calendar featuring pictorial highlights of the season just ending and all the racedates, feature dates and big sporting events for the coming 12 months.

This edition always sells out so make sure you get to the newsagent bright and early.

Of course, you also get all the usual features of your whirlaway Winning Post, including Australia's best form coverage from Friday to Sunday.

At Morphettville the top youngsters battle it out in the SA Lightning, a rare clash of the two-year-olds and three-year-olds at weight-for-age.

Our form coverage kicks off on Friday with a full form guide for Goulburn, plus fields, colours and tips for the other Friday TAB meetings.

The metro racing this Saturday is at The Valley in Melbourne, Randwick in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide, Eagle Farm in Brisbane and Belmont in Perth.

Winning Post carries full-colour liftout guides for all those meetings plus Sportsbet-Pakenham synthetic (Vic/SA edition), Muswellbrook (NSW edition) and Gold Coast (Qld edition), as well as fields, tips, ratings and/or colours for other TAB Saturday cards.

On Sunday we've got liftout formguides for four more TAB meetings (plus Devonport in the Tas edition) as well as fields, ratings, tips and colours for a stack more Sunday and Monday programs.

Don't forget Winning Post now carries trackwork reports for all four Melbourne training tracks, all three in Sydney, Morphettville in Adelaide and a general Brisbane report.

Away from the form, we've got news columns from Queensland, NSW, six Victorian districts, SA and Tasmania.

Our readers have their say on page 4, while further back in the book Shane Templeton reminisces, Paul Richards presents his unique take on the sport, Tony Kneebone brings you his Snippets column and Number Cruncher delivers the stats that matter.

Winning Post costs $5.50 and is available Thursday afternoon online ($5), the crack of dawn Friday in shops.
